AIDS Memorial Quilt Workshops

Written By Dave Harper

Since 2022, the New York Memorial has partnered with the National AIDS Memorial on a series of free, public, artist-led Community Quilt-Making Workshops at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, to mark the thirty-fifth anniversary of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in October 2022 and again at the School of Visual Arts in 2025. With the support of design studio Maharam, over 150 artists, designers, activists, volunteers, and community members joined us and AIDS Memorial Quilt co-founder and conservator Gert McMullin as we engaged in cross-generational conversation, continuing the intention of the activists who first imagined the Quilt—to inform, to share, and to build community.
